Over the weekend, an email from the NY ALT.NET group, a local meetup devoted to out-of-the-box thinking on software, caught our attention. They received a request from a Portland-based developer who is planning on biking cross-country in 2013 and visiting the more codely sections of a few cities. His goal, as he puts it, is “to come to various towns throughout the United States and prospectively parts of Europe & England to code, bike, code some more, bike and generally hang out with the coders that are making waves.”
This biking coder is Adron Hall, and he has posted his tentative agenda here, along with his special interests, which include Platform as a Service, Cloud Computing, and Code Crafsmanship.
He is, of course, planning on swinging by NYC, and ALT.NET community members are busy trying to set him up with folks who fit into that rare Venn diagram intersection of bikes, gears, panniers, and Node.js.
Feel free to post some suggestions for Adron on who he can meet and where he can bike.
Our comment to Adron is that we like his choice of biking cities in Europe, which include Copenhagen and Amsterdam. And Edinburgh, which we especially like, will definitely require some extra pushing on the pedal. Good luck!
